Medline CUR253180 Curad Xeroform Petrolatum Dressing 1 x 8inch (x) - Box of 33

Measuring 1 inch by 8 inches, this dressing is impregnated with a blend of petrolatum and 3% bismuth tribromophenate, offering a soothing and effective solution for managing various types of wounds, including burns, surgical sites, and abrasions. The dressing is ideal for both hospital and home care use, providing a moist wound healing environment while reducing the risk of infection.

Key Features:

Petrolatum-Based, Non-Adherent Formula: The Curad Xeroform dressing is impregnated with petrolatum, which creates a moisture barrier that helps prevent the dressing from sticking to the wound. This non-adherent quality minimizes pain and trauma during dressing changes, making it ideal for sensitive or painful wounds. Patients experience less discomfort during treatment, ensuring a more positive healing experience.

Antimicrobial Protection with Bismuth Tribromophenate: The dressing contains 3% bismuth tribromophenate, an active antimicrobial agent that helps reduce the risk of infection. This is particularly important in wound care, as infections can delay healing and lead to complications. Bismuth tribromophenate works to protect the wound from bacteria, while also having deodorizing properties that can reduce unpleasant odors associated with wounds.

Moist Wound Healing Environment: A moist wound environment has been shown to promote faster and more efficient healing. The Curad Xeroform Petrolatum Dressing helps maintain this optimal condition by keeping the wound bed moist while providing a barrier to external contaminants. The dressing’s petrolatum base supports the body’s natural healing processes by preventing the wound from drying out, reducing scabbing, and aiding in tissue regeneration.

Versatile Application: This dressing is suitable for a variety of wound types, including open wounds, surgical incisions, first- and second-degree burns, donor sites, and skin grafts. Its size (1 inch by 8 inches) makes it ideal for linear wounds or areas that require narrow coverage. The dressing can be easily cut or shaped to fit wounds of different sizes and locations, providing flexibility in treatment options.

Promotes Comfortable Healing: Curad Xeroform dressings are designed to be comfortable for long-term wear, making them suitable for wounds that require extended healing time. The non-adherent nature of the dressing reduces discomfort during dressing changes, while the petrolatum keeps the skin hydrated and soft, preventing cracking or excessive dryness around the wound site.

Sterile and Ready-to-Use: Each dressing is individually wrapped and sterilized, ensuring it is safe and ready for immediate use. The sterile packaging helps reduce the risk of contamination, making it suitable for use in hospitals, clinics, and home healthcare settings. Sterile dressings are crucial for maintaining a clean wound environment and preventing infection.

Long-Lasting Protection: The petrolatum layer in the dressing not only provides a barrier to contaminants but also ensures that the dressing remains effective for an extended period. Curad Xeroform dressings can be left in place for several days, depending on the wound type and healing progress, reducing the need for frequent changes and minimizing disruption to the healing process.

Applications:

Burns: Provides a moist, protective environment for healing burns while reducing the risk of infection.
Surgical Wounds: Ideal for protecting incisions and promoting faster recovery post-surgery.
Donor and Skin Graft Sites: Helps protect donor sites and skin grafts from infection and desiccation.
Abrasions and Lacerations: Provides a soothing, non-stick dressing for cuts, scrapes, and minor wounds.
